The White House on Monday launched accounts on Metaās Threads service for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, gaining a sizable following on an app that competes with Elon Muskās X.
Accounts on Threads were also established for the first lady and second gentleman as well as for the White House itself. Bidenās account racked up 2 million followers within an hour of its debut.
The Threads push comes after Musk last week called an antisemitic conspiracy theory āthe actual truthā on X to his 163 million listed followers. He also said some āJewish communitiesā promote āanti-whiteā messaging and views, calling out the Anti-Defamation League and minorities. White House officials repeatedly rebuked Musk for what they called āanti-semitic rhetoricā on X over the last week.
Several major advertisers including Apple and Disney subsequently paused their spending on X. Musk defended himself on Sunday, without apologizing or rescinding his statements.
I havenāt seen what youāre talking about at all tbh
If youāre seriously interested I can bring you the receipts.
Edit: although to be fair to us both your instance has already been defederated from the most guilty other instances, so you would be the least likely to see it anyway.
Itās quieted down lately, but the month of October had a ton of people saying the victims deserved what Hamas did. It was disgusting.
